rsync --include is not working as expected
I am trying to backup jenkins home directory (/home/ubuntu/.jenkins/) using rsync to the target directory /opt/jenbkup/. Since the directory traversal seems not working as expected, I have gone with single directory in the filter:
rsync -avr --include="jobs/*/config.xml" --exclude="*" /home/saga/.jenkins /opt/jenbkup
But nothing is copied. I also tried with exact file path in the include and did not work.
rsync -avr --include="jobs/job1/config.xml" --exclude="*" /home/saga/.jenkins /opt/jenbkup
File is not copied to destination. I don't understand whats wrong here. Some one please assist.

I assume, that you would only backup the config.xml files in your JENKINS_HOME, then this should work:
rsync -av --include="*/" --include="config.xml" --exclude="*"
--delete --prune-empty-dirs /home/saga/.jenkins/ /opt/jenbkup/
Short explaination of the used options:
--include="*/"traverse all directories
--include="config.xml"include only files named "config.xml"
--exclude="*"exlude everything
--deletedelete non-existing files in the backup
--prune-empty-dirsdelete empty directories from the backup
